It is assumed that the engine has been pulled out from the car in this process. Since the engine and other solid components of the car have high density, they have higher specific gravities. Start with the removal of the transmission as well as the driveplate. Said Crankshaft Seal does not need the oil pan or the seal retainer to be removed in order to be replaced, and the simplest way one might use is the seal-removal tool. If this does not work, one may have to use a sharp knife to shave or cut the lip of the old seal-all this while being very cautious not to scratch the crankshaft. The lip is then pulled out and a screwdriver taped around the edge can pop the seal out. Then, apply multi-purpose grease on the crankshaft seal journal and lip of the new seal. Tighten the new seal into the retainer evenly, making sure it is not locked in the retainer bore; this can be done with a wooden block or section from a pipe that has a diameter just slightly less than the outside diameter of the seal. The new seal should be level with the retainer if any, slightly protruding but should not extend out of the retainer. Last of all, the remaining part of the installation correlates with the process of removal in the reverse sequence.
